A mathematician, philosopher, inventor and mechanical engineer, Babbage originated the concept of a digital programmable computer. Considered by some to be a "father of the computer", Babbage is credited with inventing the first mechanical computer that eventually led to more complex electronic designs, though all the essential ideas of modern computers are to be found in Babbage's analytical engine. His varied work in other fields has led him to be described as "pre-eminent" among the many polymaths of his century. </div> - <div style="float:right; width:45%; text-align:left; font-size:140%;"> + <div style="float:right; width:45%; text-align:left; font-size:100%;"> Babbage's birthplace is disputed, but according to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography he was most likely born at 44 Crosby Row, Walworth Road, London, England. A blue plaque on the junction of Larcom Street and Walworth Road commemorates the event. His date of birth was given in his obituary in The Times as 26 December 1792; but then a nephew wrote to say that Babbage was born one year earlier, in 1791. The parish register of St. Mary's Newington, London, shows that Babbage was baptised on 6 January 1792, supporting a birth year of 1791.Read on to explore more about his life and works here <a href="https://www.thefamouspeople.com/profiles/charles-babbage-3709.php">here</a> @@ -34,7 +38,7 @@ <h1 id="diff">The Father Of Computers</h1> <div style="clear:both"></div> </div> <br> - <div align="center" id="timeline" style="font-size:140%;"> + <div style="text-align:center" id="timeline"> 1791<br> <i>December 26</i> Birth in London<br> @@ -91,12 +95,13 @@ <h1 id="diff">The Father Of Computers</h1> 1985<br> Science Museum of London launched a project to build a complete Babbage Engine<br> </div> + <footer> <div> <div style="float:left; width:40%; " > <h2 style="text-align:center; font-size:500%;"> Plan 28 </h2> - <p style="text-align:left; font-size:140%;"> + <p style="text-align:left; font-size:100%;"> In 2011, researchers in Britain proposed a multimillion-pound project, "Plan 28", to construct Babbage's Analytical Engine.
